This week we learn about how to give and receive love. We learn how to need people and how to be needed by people and how this need calls us to discipleship. Our mutuality is part of our sanctification.

Sermons on Love
In this first week of Advent we remember how Christ has come and delivered us and how we continue to wait for Christ to come again. We continue to pray for the coming of the Lord.
This week we see God’s humble love directed towards Moses and the Israelites as the God of the universe is willing to bend his will to Moses’ will. Not that God is forced or coerced, but freely chooses to do this out of love.
This week we return to Genesis and the story of Jacob. This week focuses on Jacob’s encounter with a mysterious man whom he wrestles for a blessing. We learn about Jacob’s renaming to Israel and how that name shapes the identity of the Israelites.
“The Seed of the Kingdom”- This week we look at what the Kingdom of God is and how it comes about through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Today, we pronounce the gospel that Christ is risen and death’s reign is over.
We talk about the gospel according to Paul, and what it means to set our mind on the Spirit. We look at what it means to live, breathe, die, and trust God with everything.
We look at the Magnificat – Mary’s prayer in Luke 1 as she meets with Elizabeth in a small Judean town.
We look at a rough passage that ultimately calls upon the church in Thessalonica to stand firm and hold tight to the traditions that they have been taught by Paul and his companions.
